Constrained Variable Projection for Structured Problems

Emanuele Zangrando, Sara Venturini, Francesco Rinaldi +1

Variable projection is a classical technique for separable nonlinear least-squares problems, in which variables that enter linearly are eliminated exactly, yielding a reduced nonli…

Laplacian-based Semi-Supervised Learning in Multilayer Hypergraphs by Coordinate Descent

Sara Venturini, Andrea Cristofari, Francesco Rinaldi +1

Graph Semi-Supervised learning is an important data analysis tool, where given a graph and a set of labeled nodes, the aim is to infer the labels to the remaining unlabeled nodes.…

A Variance-aware Multiobjective Louvain-like Method for Community Detection in Multiplex Networks

Sara Venturini, Andrea Cristofari, Francesco Rinaldi +1

In this paper, we focus on the community detection problem in multiplex networks, i.e., networks with multiple layers having same node sets and no inter-layer connections. In parti…
